I had a flash of inspiration over the holidays of how I could modify my grip to allow me to use Back Button Focus.
For those who may not know I have a modified right arm and hand. All the bones in my right arm from humerus to metacarpals (upper arm to base of fingers) are frozen togeather. No bending no rotation.
To hold the camera with my right hand and to operate autofocus and shutter I made a pistol grip with a remote shutter release. It has worked well but I have wanted to try BBF
The new grip mimicks the Canon Shutter and rear AF buttons, kinda, but positioned for my hand.
The Tufted Titmouse is one of today's "test shots" to see how the new setup feels. I think this is going to work out.

Very nice shot, Bill!
Thanks Eugene
I was set up for a nice shot on and was waiting for a bird to land where I was hoping for. This titmouse was about 25 yards away and seemed to be be watching me waiting for him.
I started moving toward the titmouse. Mover rig - take a shot - move rig- take a shot..... each time a little closer and a looking for a better background. Eventually I got to this spot, took a couple shots ,,,, then the titmouse flew to the perch I had started wanting it to land on.
Bird photography would be frustrating if it wasn't so much fun
